Story
Oslo, PanPan, Yuri, and Zena are all kittens/young cats from a stray cat we took in as we are working on an old school building. They are almost six months old and love people. We have them on the second floor and every time someone opens a door a stampede of cats comes their way. They are the cuddliest cats I have ever been around. We have two long hair cats that don’t seem to bother my husbands sinuses but these medium haired cats are making his nose and eyes itch and water. Even he hates to see them go. (I don’t think I will miss all the litter boxes though.)  They take their kisses and want more. We hold them like babies and they just go limp and soak up the love.The only girl of the bunch. She has the slightest little bit of white on her chest. She is confident and lovable. She will lick your face in affection and snuggles in where she can. A friend watched her for a few nights and said Zena slept with her all night and licked her face in the morning.

He likes to give these little whisper half meows which is very deceiving considering the vocals on him if he finds himself all alone. He has a few white hairs between his front legs. He's a great snuggle in front of the tv cat.

He is the softest one. Its like petting a bunny rabbit. He snuggles in and lifts his face for kisses.

Not a little hop into snuggles but a pounce. He will also butt his head into your kisses. Smooches on command.

Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Very nice cat. Gets along with some dogs, but not others. Has never been around other cats, but I would assume he would not get along. Super loving to people. Somewhat skittish but once he gets used to the environment, that pretty well goes away. Doesn't scratch or tear things up. He was picked up from a shelter in August of 2025.

Story
She was pushed on me. She had been rehomed several times in the last couple months and I currently have her. I cannot afford to take care of her and my life is far to busy to give this cat she deserves
